This is fatal to a news organization. It’s no longer news, it’s propaganda, no matter how lightly it is applied.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Death of a handyman: ICE cited “convictions for driving with expired vehicle registration” and an unspecified judgment against him in favor of the Maryland comptroller. The 47-year-old Curo-Churata "had volunteered to leave the country on his own, but a judge denied the request."

The white evangelical movement split in the 1970s so those who hated civil rights, especially for women, could boost right-wing Republicans. Talarico is reclaiming the movement for the others, and it is a very different thing indeed. Jimmy Carter v. Jerry Falwell.

Many people are calling Trump's $5,000 promise a bribe. The Supreme Court has already decided this one. As long as the service performed occurs before money changes hands -- electing a Republican Congress in this case -- it's perfectly legal. It's not a bribe, it's a gratuity.

Your annual reminder of what REALLY happened: Donald Trump went on WWOR Radio on 9/11/01--yes, that very day--to say that with the collapse of the Twin Towers, he now had the tallest building in New York. Which was a good preview of things to come, in that it was both disgusting and a lie.

The "liberal media" shtick has been mostly jettisoned under Trump, you'll notice. Even "fake news" isn't used so much. Because they're no longer needed. (And because so much of the Prestige Press plays along.) Some of us knew early, though. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/eric-...

Sometimes I remember how the top secret materials Trump piled in a Mar-a-Lago toilet were so highly sensitive it complicated the prosecution against him for stealing them. And how from the Biden debate on that was pretty much memory holed.

More Americans have been killed in the Iran war Trump started than in the Afghan withdrawal Biden was handed and completed. The implications for America’s geopolitical situation is much worse with attacking Iran than leaving Afghanistan. But going by tone of coverage, one would think the opposite.

NYT focus group parodies:
NY Times Fokus Bobby, 26, S.Dak., white, MAGA Republican, incel: The war with Iran is a success as far as I can see. The President said they shouldn't have a nuclear weapon and they don't. He said the strait is open and I believe him. Besides, the war has only been going on for like 6 months. I read that the war against Vietnam was at least twice as long. Give him a break.

Dorothy, 52, Ohi., White, Republican, receptionist: I'm really not all that concerned about Iran. I trust Trump. Remember, Dr. Oz said that the President has the highest testosterone level he's ever seen for someone over 70 years old. If that doesn't scare the mullahs I don't know what will.

From @therickwilson.bsky.social. He’s urging all of us to stop trying to shame the GOP, because they will never feel it and will never change bc of it. Power and money is all they care about, but what they fear is losing both. We must then all vote in large numbers that the GOP can’t dispute it.
